OK I'm jumping in! Not really trying to lose weight but definitely trying to maintain weight (from fluctuating too low/high) and live healthy.

My BMR is around 1300 + about 600 burned daily just from lifestyle. So I aim for about 1900 calories a day, and slightly higher on workout days (usually by adding a smoothie post-workout). My regular workout schedule is 2x/week weights + cardio + yoga (Wednesday and either Mon or Fri depending on schedule), plus extra cardio and yoga classes throughout the week, depending on how much time I can weasle. I try to drink MINIMUM 60 oz of water a day, but usually try for more than that.

So for 3/12...

Breakfast
(pre-breakfast) english muffin
1/2 cup oatmeal with applesauce and some chopped almonds
4 scrambled egg whites with a teeny tiny bit of salsa for flavour

Lunch
Bean & vegetable soup with lots of homemade croutons (mmm)
1 cooked apple for dessert

Snack
4 rice cakes with hummus

Dinner
Baked salmon with a big baked potato and some zucchini (about 1/4 cup)
Pear for dessert

I may have a snack later tonight too, probably a plain bagel and a glass of soy milk with a little bit of honey.

So with that snack already added on, totals for today:
1844 calories (a bit too low)
19g fat (only 10%

)
336g carbs (68%)
96g protein (22% good!

)

Exercise... none

Was planning on going for a run then to yoga but got called into work this morning to fix some really silly crisis. Grrr.. oh well, I'll make up for it on Monday.

Water: only about 40oz - too low, forgot to take my water bottle to work
